Police arrest teen sought in homicide earlier this month
A 16-year-old was arrested Tuesday evening on suspicion of first-degree murder in the death of a 19-year-old man on Nov. 5.
Nakari Moore was shot in his upper body by a 16-year-old suspect shortly after he left a cellphone business in the 2800 block of South Hydraulic, Wichita police Officer Charley Davidson said. That’s south of East Pawnee.
He died the next day.
Moore had paid a cellphone bill and left with one other person in his car. The 16-year-old fired several shots at the car, hitting Moore, Davidson said.
Davidson said Wednesday that the two teenagers didn’t know each other, but what led up to the shooting is unknown.
At around 5 p.m. Tuesday, the 16-year-old suspect was spotted going into an apartment complex in the 1700 block of South Hillside and was arrested.
